  • Freeze protective shipping units
    Patent number: 5181394
    Abstract: Disclosed are shipping and/or storage units for containers of liquid compositions, such as solutions of biologically active proteins, which are susceptible to physicochemical change upon freezing. Preferred container holders have double sidewalls and a freeze indicator adjacent a container-accommodating cavity. A phase change material such as a carboxymethylcellulose gel is disposed in the enclosed space between sidewalls and freezes at a temperature higher than the nucleation temperature of the composition. A freeze indicator provides an irreversible visual signal upon reaching a temperature intermediate the nucleation temperature of the liquid composition and the freezing temperature of the phase change material.
